Anyone who has played the escape room should have had a feeling that when a person is in an environment where the nerves are tense all the time and requires continuous thinking, time always passes extremely fast.
During the time Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo were in the maze, they had a very deep experience of this.
When the tattoos and the ice sleet died one after another, and the time accumulated to one hour and two minutes, the two were still in a medieval library, struggling to find a way out with the "ghost" hiding in the book.
Thanks to the efforts of Mo Tiangen and the Fan family siblings, after ruling out the wrong options, Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo are almost certain that the exit of the spiral staircase is more than 80% likely to be in this library.
It’s just that you know what you know, and to find the exit, you have to solve the anagrams of the books in the library.
So the two of them, like the protagonists in "Dutch Code", ran around the library on the entire three floors, solved the puzzles, and then found the corresponding books and found the corresponding letters.
And once the book is mistaken, "ghosts" will appear from the opened title page.
They are usually supernatural creatures in human form, or some fantasy animals described in the book, in short, whatever it is, they will attack the intruders—that is, Ji Xiaoniao and Ren Dameier—without saying a word.
In order to save time and improve efficiency as much as possible, they chose to act separately and only rely on "anytime, anywhere web conference" to communicate with each other.
Fortunately, Ji Thrush is not in the old Wu Xia Amen, although it cannot be said that it is invincible state of gods and Buddhas, it is easy to deal with the one or two "ghosts" that appear from time to time Little Case, not to mention Ren Jianmo, as the well-deserved pinnacle of fighting power, he is much more comfortable than Ji Xiaoniao.
Finally, with thirty-eight minutes left, the two solved the complete crossword puzzle. They found a one-armed Venus in the corner of a certain reading room, and behind it found a well-hidden door. secret door.
Enter the password obtained in the puzzle to open the secret door.
Behind the door is a long-lost darkness that no light from any lighting tool can penetrate.
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo looked at each other, and stepped into the door one after the other.
And outside the "door", there was a scene that neither of them expected at all.
Ji Thrush thought he was a very courageous person, but when he stepped out of the threshold and saw the scenery outside, he was stunned, his feet nailed in place, and he didn't even dare to take a step outside.
Because he saw that he was actually standing in a sea of clouds.
His waist was hidden in the snow-white clouds. Even as an archer with enhanced eyesight, Ji Thrush couldn't see what was under his feet at all, which gave him the illusion that his whole body was suspended in mid-air. It seems that it will fall from a high altitude at any time.
"Don't be afraid."
Standing two steps away, Ren Jianmo reached out to Ji Xiaoniao, "There is a solid ground under our feet, don't worry."
Ji Thrush took a deep breath, grabbed Ren Jianmo's hand, mustered up his courage, and took a step forward.
Even so, he still instinctively felt fear. When he moved, his feet stuck to the ground, and he walked like a penguin.
"What the hell is this place?"
Ji Thrush frowned deeply.
Ren Jianmo pointed upwards, motioning for him to look up.
Then Ji Xiaoniao saw a scene that ruined his outlook even more.
Because at a height of about 30 meters from the two of them, there was actually a piece of sea hanging in the air.
Ji Thrush gasped.
That is indeed a scene that can only be seen in movies such as "Sea ○" and "Pirates of Gabby".
Above their heads is a complete sea level.
It's like the clearest and calmest blue sea taken from a high altitude and turned upside down. It's beautiful and deep. When the breeze blows, you can also see the snow-white waves rolling and rushing into the distance.
Ren Jianmo grabbed Ji Thrush's hand, and moved forward inch by inch carefully.
The two groped and found out the situation under their feet.
They are now on an irregular half-moon-shaped floating island. The island is not big. It is only 20 to 30 square meters when it is stretched to death. The sparkling ocean is above the head, and thick clouds are under the feet. The sea does not know how deep it is. , I don't know how thick the cloud is.
The real reversal of heaven and earth appeared before their eyes.
Ji Thrush slightly dispersed the clouds around his feet with his hands, then squatted on the edge of the floating island, stretched his arms tremblingly, and tried to throw a small gadget out.
The little thing "falls" straight down, through the white and thick thick clouds, and falls into the unknown depths, leaving only a deep and long tunnel in the shape of a whirlpool in the clouds.
"If you fall, you will die, right?"
Ji Xiaoniao never felt that she was afraid of heights, but this place was so weird that it surpassed common sense, and it made people instinctively have a sense of fear of the unknown.
Ren Jian smiled and shook his head.
He didn't intend to let himself or Ji Thrush try it at all.
While the two were talking, they heard a noise behind them.
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo turned their heads, and saw another "door" opened on the other side of the floating island. Baroque stumbled out of the door and fell into the knee-high thick clouds.
"Hi, are you okay?"
Ji Thrush was startled, and hurriedly brushed away the re-gathered clouds around him, trotted over a few steps, and picked up the person who was almost submerged in the milky white clouds.
"... finally came out."
Seeing Ji thrush and Ren Jianmo, Baroque seemed relieved, leaned on Ji thrush's shoulder, and sighed, "I thought I was going to die in the maze."
"Can you stand up?"
Ji Xiaoniao held Baroque's shoulder and tried to use force.
Baroque nodded with a wry smile, and staggered up with the help of Ji Thrush.
After the person stood up straight, Ji Thrush could clearly see the distressed appearance of the other party.
Baroque's injury was indeed serious.
His clothes were torn and torn, and there were patches of burns and deep and shallow, long and short scratches and bites everywhere.
Ji Xiaoniao also noticed that there was a wound on Baroque's left chest, which ran obliquely from the collarbone to the side of the waist, as if cut out by some kind of thin and sharp sharp instrument, if it was two centimeters deeper , People are afraid that they have already become a corpse.
However, although the injuries looked serious and there was no bandage, the blood from those more serious wounds miraculously stopped, and it should not be life-threatening.
Ji Thrush's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.
"This is where?"
Baroque gently pushed Ji Xiaoniao's hand away, indicating that he could walk by himself, "Have you found 'Fan' yet?"
Ji Thrush imitated Ren Jianmo just now, and pointed to the sky, motioning him to look at the sea above his head.
"There is no way."
After Baroque finished being amazed, Ji Thrush briefly explained the current situation of the three of them, "At least, we haven't found it yet."
"I see."
Baroque wiped the burn on his cheek with his tattered sleeve, gasped in pain, and shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that unless we can fly, we might not even be able to get out of this small island .”
Ji thrush turned to look at him, nodded, but didn't speak.
Baroque's heart skipped a beat when he saw thrush last season.
Standing in the sea of clouds, he tried his best to look weaker, and at the same time, he was thinking about what to do.
Just three minutes ago, when Baroque worked so hard to get out of the maze, thinking that the "exit" he found must be where the "Vatican" was, he was almost dazzled by the ecstasy of his long-cherished wish.
But now, Baroque knew that he was too happy too soon.
First of all, he has not found Fan, and more importantly, he is not the only one at this moment...
Thinking of this, Baroque lowered his gaze, and glanced at Ren Jianmo, whose back was turned to him, from the corner of his eye.
Although Binglao spoke highly of the strength of "Mr. Ren", in Baroque's view, no matter how powerful this person is, there is still a gap in strength between him and the boss of the Qinxue Society. Otherwise, he should have been famous in "Peach Blossom Spring" long ago— Even if it was bad, at least the name should be ranked at the top of the obelisk.
Now that he has stolen the ability of ice hail, Baroque feels that if it is one-on-one, at least in the fight for abilities, he should not lose to this person.
However, Mr. Ren is not alone here.
Baroque glanced in the direction of the thrush again.
In the levels of Yuanchen Palace and Guixi Temple, he has seen Ji Thrush's electrical abilities many times, and he has to admit that the fighting power of this curly-haired kid is much stronger than he looks on the outside, even very powerful. Probably not lost to Ice Grain.
However, such powerful two people are still a partner and a couple, which is very troublesome...
Baroque didn't show it on the surface, but he was extremely irritable in his heart.
Even if he really didn't want to admit it, Baroque knew that he couldn't deal with Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo at the same time.
And for him, the more deadly point is that the "air bomb" ability that he has been showing before has been "returned" to the tattoo. If there is any change in the future, he will be forced to use the ability when i can...
——Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo are not fools, as long as they look at his ability to use ice hail, they will definitely suspect him.
After thinking about it, Baroque thought that the only and most appropriate way was to pretend that he was seriously injured and could no longer fight.
As long as you don't wear clothes, after returning to the "Peach Blossom Spring", there will be more room for maneuvering.
—As for this, does he still have a chance to find "Van"
Baroque lowered his head, covered his lips with his sleeve, and smiled secretly.
—Who knows what is waiting for them in the back
—If luck is good enough, if these two people die by themselves, wouldn't the problem be solved
After making up his mind, Baroque covered his chest, suppressed his throat, and coughed a few times in a low voice.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ji Thrush turned his head when he heard the sound, and asked with concern:
"Is there something uncomfortable?"
Baroque was overjoyed, and his acting skills were at full strength. He covered his left chest with his hand, pretending to be enduring the pain, "I was injured a little bit ago, I...cough cough, it seems that two ribs were broken."
Hearing this, Ji Thrush opened his eyes wide, with worry clearly written on his face.
"is it serious?"
He turned his head, walked back to Baroque in a few steps, put his fingers on the back of his hand covering his left rib, as if he wanted to open it to check, "Let me see..."
"Ah, don't touch it!"
Baroque raised his hand to block Ji Thrush's hand, gasped at the same time, shook his head with a wry smile, "When I touch it, it hurts badly..."
Sure enough, when he said that it would hurt to touch it, Ji Thrush immediately retracted his paws, not daring to touch it.
Baroque said in his heart that the boy was good, and his reaction was really good.
What he likes most is this stupid and unsuspecting silly Baitian, because it is much easier to deceive than the cautious and suspicious old fritters like Bingsha.
"Then find a place to rest and don't move around."
Seeing Baroque's painful expression, Ji Thrush showed worry, thought for a while, and put him on the spot, "I heard that broken ribs are very dangerous, and if the fracture gets stuck into the lung, the problem will be serious. "
After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to Ren Jianmo's side in a few steps, "Let's look carefully to see if there are any institutions here."
